Call of Juarez Goes Back to the Future

The previous Call of Juarez games took place in the late 19th century, but the just-announced Call of Juarez: The Cartel is bringing the cowboy franchise into the modern era.

Nothing much is said about the story in today's press release, but we do know that The Cartel will take place in both Los Angeles and Juarez, Mexico. Its name and modern setting alludes to the fact that it might very well take on the subject of the Mexican drug cartels we hear all too often about on the news.

Additional information will be available in the next issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Call of Juarez: The Cartel will be out Summer of 2011 for 360, PS3, and PC.
